Nearly all the species can be readily propagated by both root-division and seed. The seeds are sown very shallow in a clean bed, in either warm fall or early spring. The division of roots is best made in early spring before growth starts. The season for both outdoor and indoor planting will directly influence the flowering season. Good months for outdoor planting are September, October, November, December, February and March. As a rule, the tuberous anemones will blossom at any time desired, being influenced by the time they are kept out of the ground. The bulbs may be ripened after flowering time by being taken from the ground to dry, or by covering the bed to keep out rains. A. japónica is one of the finest of all fall- blooming herbs.
